EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hippocrates of Kos, Pieter Serwouters, Bonaventura Elzevier, Abraham Elzevier (I), 1628" takes us back in time to a world steeped in knowledge and wisdom. The image showcases a remarkable scene featuring an old man with a flowing white beard, holding a solid tablet bearing the weight of centuries-old wisdom. The subject of this photograph is none other than Hippocrates of Kos himself, the renowned ancient Greek physician and author. His presence exudes authority and expertise as he stands amidst an array of bookshelves filled with treasured writings. Latin and Greek texts line the walls, showcasing the vast intellectual wealth that lies within these hallowed shelves. Depicting an era when books were cherished possessions and writing tablets were essential tools for scholars like Hippocrates, this image transports us to a bygone age where knowledge was painstakingly recorded by hand. It serves as a reminder of our collective human quest for understanding and enlightenment. Photographer Quint Lox skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the essence of these historical figures - Pieter Serwouters, Bonaventura Elzevier, Abraham Elzevier - who played crucial roles in preserving and disseminating knowledge through their publishing endeavors. This thought-provoking print invites viewers to reflect on the timeless pursuit of knowledge while paying homage to those who dedicated their lives to its advancement.
